The cause is unknown, but it is a...

Reverse Therapy

Blessings everyone out there. I have asked this question once before a long time back with very little response....so thought I would try again....is there any one out there with any experience of Reverse Therapy....when I read the book I found a light switch being turned on within me ...it made sense....but at 80 per session and a 150 mile journey for closest practitioner.... I would value some feedback if possible before comitting.

You can use text to speach to read it to you on your computer, that way you can limit/manage any sence of being overwhealmed by infomation.
Give the book a go first . If it still makes sence then proceede.
Cheers

Thankyou for your response. I have already read the book, and it is the only one amongst loads of ME/CFS books and websites that makes sense to me....so maybe I should just follow it through,,,,,it definitley has a light turned on effect on me just reading the book...so I suppose that's a good start...will keep you all posted

I am doing a course of Mickel Therapy which is very similar to Reverse. I too found it made so much sense to me. I know of three people who have got their lives back. So far I have improved a bit, but for me since I have had ME for about 30 years it is going to take time for all my body systems to get back in balance. It is a therapy that you have to continually work on day to day. Have a look at the Mickel Therapy website, I know they do email and phone courses now, and I think there is a lower price special coming up for those that are finding the cost too much, they are concerned about that.

You asked for people's experiences so I thought I should give you mine (in brief - pls email me if you'd like proper chat about it). I started seeing a reverse therapist in November because like you the book and info on wenbsite made sense to me. I'm quite open to the idea that my chronic fatigue (I don't really consider myself to have CFS/ ME) is caused by emotional difficulties.
I'm afraid it didn't work out for me but I have a feeling that if I had persevered / seen a different counsellor, it may have worked better. i have problems with anxiety and, since have been unwell, get very panicky. My counsellor had advised me to make a lot of big changes to my life - which I did and which I think then caused the panic but she didn't really seem to be able to help with alleviating the anxiety - which was interfering with making progress on the health front. I've been meaning to write a post about all this actually as I think there may be others who could comment/ have had more positive experiences/ would be interested to know.
This all happened about two months ago - and now that the anxiety's starting to wear off and I'm facing the fact that I've made all these big changes and have to be more positive about them, I'm wondering if I gave up at the first setback. You see, full of self-doubt?!

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
